Welcome to Su's Corner

Dave and I are enjoying our not-so-new home in South Carolina. I can’t believe we have lived here a year and a half already...still working on unpacking, believe it or not. So unlike me not to rush into settling in as quickly as possible but life has finally slowed down to a point to actually enjoy each day with less urgency which seemed in the past to always be a huge part of my daily schedule. Grateful for a slower pace, I guess, is what I am trying to articulate. Please keep in touch - Would love to hear from you!

Theme for the Month - PRAYER
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray...”. Luke 11:1
The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray and he gives them (and us) a prayer we rightly call The Lord’s Prayer. Most of us were taught The Lord’s Prayer when a child. It would probably boggle our minds if we could know the number of times we have said this prayer throughout our lifetime. Some of us have more “lifetime” than others, of course. For myself that would mean close to 70 years of reciting these very words in a variety of different settings. Have I truly treasured these words given by Jesus, himself? Have I honestly meant every word every time I recited them? Have I actually thought about what I was saying when I said The Lord’s Prayer? How about you?
Jesus, forgive me for all the times I have simply said the words of your prayer and not actually thought about
what I was saying or how precious these words are when realizing you, the Son of God, gave these words to your followers, to me! Help me to honor in my heart what The Lord’s Prayer means to me and use it with holy reverence.
Amen.

BIBLE STUDY ON PRAYER - I just completed updating the Comforter Ministry Prayer Gathering Bible Study on Prayer. I will continue to offer the Prayer Gathering but in a more general setting on prayer rather than specifically focused on CM and in a broader area of venues. This study has been reviewed for correct doctrinal content and includes over 60 Scripture references to support the content. I am also adding a segment to the Prayer Gathering that shares a variety of ideas and prayer tools to help the believer in her prayer life. This would be offered only if enough time is set aside initially for its inclusion within the Prayer Gathering.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN MY PRESENTING THIS VERY WORTHWHILE STUDY!
COMFORT AND JOY IN ALL SEASONS is my latest presentation endeavor. I am quite pleased with how it was received by a group of women (about 80) this past November when I was blessed to give the presentation for the first time. There were a variety of ages attending the event, an annual Fall Luncheon held at Cross View Lutheran Church in Edina, MN. The feedback was extremely encouraging and helped me realize there really is a need for women of all seasons to be reminded of how the comfort and joy won for them by Jesus truly does affect every season of life whether you are speaking of seasons as times of joy or sorrow, winter or summer, young mother or empty-nester and every other type of season.
I also gave the presentation to a smaller group of women at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Schofield, WI in November, as well. So thankful for these invites! Although I do ask that my transportation costs are paid along with a $100 speaking stipend, I pray I will have many more future invites in which to share this presentation!
Please think of COMFORT AND JOY IN ALL SEASONS when making plans for a future women’s event and contact me :)
PRAY, DEAR CHRISTIAN is a brief article that will be included in the March publication of Monthly Notes, an e-newsletter from LWMS. I have already written for their September and December issues. For now, I will be writing on various topics of my choosing on a quarterly basis. It is wonderful to be back serving in some capacity with LWMS, an organization near and dear to me. Let me know what you thought of the article...
Proclaim the greatness of the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:3
